Fundamentals:- After the EU backed the Brexit deal formulated by Teresa May we could see an up swing in some of the GBP currencies. Although some traders believe this is already priced in coupled with recent economic data I can't help feeling that the GBP is slightly undervalued.
Technicals:- As you can see we have used the daily chart to analysis this currency ...

Fundamentals:- We have quite a few data announcements out this week which suggest an increase in average hourly earnings, cpi and gdp. After the sell off on the GBP today I would suggest this is just a price correction from Fridays up leg and we should see a further increase on the GBP especially against the weaker currencies such as the JPY.
Technicals:- As you ...

FUNDAMENTALS:- A drop in unemployment should see the decline of the Canadian dollar against the USD for a short period of time. Although inflation has taken a drop back down to 2.2% I think the Canadian will be well supported for a short period of time.
Technicals:- just looking at support and resistance on this one. a break below current 4 hour candle will give ...

Fundamental Analysis:- The USD is still the stronger of the two currencies with the FED looking at continuing their gradual rate raises over the near term. Even raising rates a little more than expected to stop Inflation jumping over their target. On the GBP side of the currency pair; Teressa May comes under pressure to resign as 40 of her MP's announce a vote of ...

Fundamentals:- Although there was some weak data from the US last week as a whole the economy is still on the upside. Non Farm payrole figures came in better than expected whilst unemployment creeped back up t 4% from 3.8%. Average hourly earnings also dropped from 0.3% to 0.2%. Over the long term I don't expect this to hold the USD down for any length of time. ...

Fundamentals:- We are taking a short term Fundamental view on the GBP/USD -0.64% at the moment. The USD has gone from strength to strength for many months now; every so often it will produce a pull back and some profit taking. The short term data has been a little worse than expected and with the MPC -0.07% changing its interest rate vote recently we could see a ...

Fundamentals:- We are taking a short term Fundamental view on the GBP/USD at the moment. The USD has gone from strength to strength for many months now; every so often it will produce a pull back and some profit taking. The short term data has been a little worse than expected and with the MPC changing its interest rate vote recently we could see a continuation of ...

Fundamentals:- The RBA will be making there rate announcement next week which is not expected to change. There is concern over the levels of consumer debt at the moment and lagging GDP. I expect the AUD to weaken against the stronger USD next week especially after the stela NON Farm Payrole figures on Friday.
Technicals:- There is an nice area of confluence ...

Fundamentals:- We had a crack at this one last week but it ended up just consolidating. This week we are looking to the NZ financial stability report and the NFP to bring in some much needed volatility to get this currency pair moving. Looking at the macro prudential tools that the RBNZ use to base there report I can see that the economy is static or drifting off ...

Fundamentals:- After yesterdays week CPI reading from the UK we can expect the GBP to weaken further against the USD. A rate hike from the US is likely sooner rather than later and although the dollar is still quite high we can expect strength until the rate hike happens.
Technicals:- there is a good support come resistance level at 13393 - 13400 where I would ...

Fundamentals:- We have retail sales out from NZD tonight at 11:45pm so the markets will just be open in time. Depending on the figure will depend on where we enter this trade it might be that the market even opens lower than it closed in anticipation of the data. Expecting the USD to continue strengthening into the week next week certainly against the weaker ...

Fundamentals:- The USD has been surprisingly bouyant considering the recent Employment data and the fact that Trump just pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal. Although the Iranian deal may be a financial positive for the US it should still send investors flocking to safe haven currencies such as the JPY. I would like to see some more downside pressure on this ...

Fundamentals:- After a failed trade on this currency pair today we still believe the downside is imminent. Why? After a subdued super Thursday from the BOE and no change in either rate hike or votes by the MPC. Mark Carney later said in an interview with the BBC that it was likely rates would rise before the end of this year. With the outlook for Europe pushing ...

Fundamentals:- The US had its Non Farm Payrole on Friday and although the unemployment rate dropped to 3.9% average hourly earnings had also dropped. The NFP figures showed jobs created at 164K when the market was expecting 190K. So mixed data but in all we are expecting a bit of a pull back from the Dollar strength last week. In Australia the economy has been ...

Fundamentals:- Although the economy has been improving lately, employment is a concern for the RBA and we are due those figures out this week. Another rate hike is looming from the USD and the deviance of the last NFP shows that the markets are still willing to invest heavily into the the dollar. With the RBA rate statement shedding more light on the Australian ...

Fundamentals:- After the CPI readings from Canada last week I am expecting a continuation of this turn around. As the currency is commodity linked to WTI crude, which was the main driver in strength for the Canadian dollar last week, The WTI price seems to be lacking any more upward drive. Also the US is still expected to raise rates further as the average hourly ...

Fundamentals:- After the Canadian data slipping for CPI last week the much gained CAD took a turn. WTI Light Crude which also links to the value of the CAD seems to be taking a bit of a down turn. With the US expected to continue on it's rate hike cycle then we should see this currency pair reverse and test previous resistance levels.
Techncials:- After the head ...

Fundamentals:- Today’s CPI Y/Y reading for the U.K. dropped from 2.7% to 2.5%. That is the second consecutive drop since inflation hit 3% in February this year. After the increase in inflation after Brexit it was starting to look positive for a rise in interest rates towards the end of the year. However, after this latest reading we could end up having to sit ...
